No energy and 4 days post op!

[aprilsleeve 3]

I have absolutely no energy to do anything. I keep feeling weak and faint. What can I do to overcome this?

I am so sorry you are feeling down. I was sleeved on Monday and came home Tuesday. Fortunately, I haven't had any major issues (so far).

Are you able to get your Protein and Water? Are you able to walk much?

call your surgeons office & speak to the Nurse. Explain what's going on. Good luck.

I was very very fatigued for the first several weeks. The best thing you can do is try to get in your Protein and fluids. For me it didn't really improve until I was able to move onto more solid foods and get in more calories.

I hate to rain on your parade, but I felt exhausted, weak & dizzy until about 5 weeks out! Then I just woke up one morning and poof, I felt alive again! Try upping your Protein. It should help with your energy! Good luck to you.

Definitely call your surgeon. I'm 3 weeks post op and went to see my PCP. She started B12 injections today, as I had been extremely exhausted. I am praying it helps!

Have you started your Protein Drinks yet? I had a ton of energy the first 2 weeks after surgery while I was home recovering, once I went back to work and back to my 5-6 hours of sleep , I started getting tired again
